Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 780 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 780:1985), which has been technically revised. . e n i l n o n o i s r e v l l u f e h t s s e c c A . e l p m a s e g a p 4 e e r f a s i s i h T

Introduction Packages are often marked with handling instructions in the language of the country of origin. While this may safeguard the consignment to some extent, it is of little value for goods consigned to, or through, countries using different languages, and of no value at all if people handling the packages are illiterate. Pictorial symbols offer the best possibility of conveying the consignor’s intention and their adoption will, therefore, undoubtedly reduce loss and damage through incorrect handling. The symbols specified are in accordance with the rules of ISO/TC 145, Graphical symbols. The use of pictorial symbols does not provide any guarantee of satisfactory handling; proper protective packaging is therefore of primary importance. . e n i l n o n o i s r e v l l u f e h t s s e c c A . e l p m a s e g a p 4 e e r f a s i s i h T
